It has been suggested that electrostatic repulsion between charges at the surface of bulk nanobubbles might balance Laplace pressure leading to their stability. This mechanism has been widely discussed in...

Second-order rate constants for the hydroxide-ion-catalyzed imidazolium ring-opening of several mono- and dinucleosidic analogs of mRNA 5'-cap have been determined. Intramolecular stacking of the two nucleobases in the dinucleosidic analogs, m7GpppN (m7G = 7-methylguanosine, N = 5'-linked nucleoside), and electrostatic interaction between the N-alkylated imidazolium ring and phosphate moiety have been shown to shield the m7G moiety against the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion. In addition, the effect of methylation of the nucleobase amino groups and replacement of the 7-methyl group with other alkyl groups have been studied. The influence of all the structural modifications studied turned out to be modest, the cleavage rates of the most and least reactive analogs (with the exception of non-phosphorylated nucleosides) differing only by a factor of 5.

The spontaneous formation of giant (diameter > 10 μm) vesicles from a number of phospholipids in excess aqueous solution has been studied by light-microscopy. Electrically neutral as well as charged phospholipids swell to form giant vesicles only if the lipids are in the fluid phase. This shows that electrostatic repulsion alone cannot explain the spontaneous formation of giant vesicles. The results confirm the suggestion that steric forces between extended membranes play a significant part in this process.

H2O2 treated K-doped graphitic carbon nitride presents an enhanced visible light absorption, which is due to the electrostatic attraction between K ions and OOH ions inside graphitic carbon nitride.
